Writing felt heavy for Tina — until one poem helped her trust the process again. Slowly, her creativity returned: “I AM a writer.”
That moment inspired Creative Comeback.

I didn’t realise I’d lost my creativity until everything felt a bit flat.
Life looked “fine”… but I didn’t feel like myself.
If this sounds familiar, I’m opening something this week for women who want to gently get cracking again with their creativity.
Message me if you want details.

Hi,
If you’re stuck with your creativity, try this:
• Choose the smallest possible next step
• Make it specific enough that you could start now
You don’t need a grand plan — you just need a beginning.

I firmly believe everyone is creative.
I'm looking for women to help me understand more on this by completing this short survey bit.ly/3PLPewG
Sometimes we keep our creative dreams and ambitions hidden - they get buried, forgotten.
Is that you?

How to be a writer, #35790000:
Wake at 4 am from terrifying dream
Open laptop, add new and terrifying scene to WIP
Go back to sleep
Wake up again, read new and terrifying scene with no memory of having written it
WTF, subconscious
